Islamic Action Front

The Islamic Action Front (IAF) is an Islamist political party in Jordan, founded in 1992. The party was founded as the political wing of the Muslim Brotherhood in Jordan, and the party supported Palestine against Israel; the Palestinian Muslim Brotherhood's military wing, Hamas, took part in the fight against the Israelis. The IAF recognized democracy, religious freedom, interfaith dialogue, and women's rights, and it did not support Salafist groups such as the Islamic State. The IAF's primary support base was among Palestinian refugees in Jordan, and the IAF held 15/130 Chamber of Deputies seats in 2017.
